Q&AZemana scan shows DNS Hijacking?

Level 2

Hello Guys hope this is the correct area but have a little issue not sure what to make of it. Something is changing my dns settings and I try to change them back they just get changed again. the dns server its using is 127.7.7.9 I usually dont mess with dns but did a scan with Zemana and it keeps popping up with that calling it a dns hijack and when I hit clean it dosent fix it. It just shows up again. I am currently running Kaspersky Internet Security with Adguard premium and Heimdal Premium. Any Idea what it could be or is Zemana wrong and I am just paranoid. Thank you.

Quote : " If Traffic Filtering is enabled when Heimdal is installed, your local DNS is changed to 127.7.7.x and your DNS server is saved by Heimdal in the registries. Read more here: How does DarkLayer Guard work? "

No need to uninstall. Turn off Heimdal traffic filtration and Heimdal uses a backend NETSH call to switch your DNS back to DHCP.

127 is a loopback and not a public address space. Zemana is a false positive here. I've lost all hope with Zemana and got a partial refund for my licenses. Especially after they ignored the fact that I can reveal their distributed cloud scanning computers around the world, down to the most intimate detail. (even today) By simply having a specific EXE on my system scanned by it..

It's been so long , seems Zemana still didn't solve this problem .....

To be honestly , Zemana is really terrible at solve the false alert ,
i also had some FP when Zemana scan my browser's main page setting ,
using " Submit as false positives " on software is useless , never see they fix the FP .

So i try to dirrect sending a email support to report the FP ,
however only get a reply told me they will conveyed my informaton to research team ,
and no more .....

After many months , the same FP still there ,
i had no choice , all i can do , is add those item into the exclude list .....

Long time ago(about at October,2017) ,

and here is the Zemana's reply :
